Despite their camp-wide fame, the band I Agree With Pickle were the target of a new song. Campers Ari, Jacob, and Lily detail why they respectfully disagree with Pickle in a detailed TED talk, as they nitpick the band’s history (in a respectful manner).
Makor camper Liam Peck wrote and recorded a multitude of songs across genres this session in the recording studio. His funk song Brain Function will put you in the mood to grove. Pizza Man chronicles the story a hungry customer as they become a pizza man. Liam went acoustic with his song Power Outage, playing the Kahone and recording a music video in the tunnel. Finally, Liam left us wowed by his avant garde Big Project, which captures a zen feeling in a never before heard soundscape.
Beber’s got Talent was chock full o’ dance, film, diablo, and more, but two music acts really took the whole show to the next level! Enjoy Jack and Brody’s take on “Revival” (including an unbelievable costume change mid-song) and Lila’s absolutely stunning rendition of “On My Own” from Les Mis!
All the news from early August 2024 is right here, produced by our camper newscasters in our own newsroom! See below that for panel discussions!
Out 3 Beber Chat producers delved into many topics in our panel discussions in studio, so check out host Mattie interviewing Hailey, Bennett, Zach, and special guests. First up - movie and TV discussion! More coming soon!
PLUS - a very fun song/loop/beat created by our radio hobbies - a conversation including heavy use of the word “no” was captured and looped, with beats and synths added to turn it into a major bop! NO is a YES!
Getting to a music festival at 9am my be a hard sell, but not when you have talent like this! The camp went crazy for the three bands, each representing a different division.
Band of the Year 2023 Dipped got back together to prove they have more to prove, and prove it they did, performing Dancing Queen as the crowd sang along!
MORE BEING ADDED SOON!!
Fine Arts Fest remains Beber’s premiere showcase of hobby talent in the music and fine art fields, and the bands at session 2’s festival didn’t disappoint - see and hear below as Band of the Session winners Still a Mystery tackle a classic Tom Petty tune, Kesher’s own Party Pack lean into a legendary Journey song to get the audience pumped…
And Beber icons I Agree with Pickle screen their own Rockumentary film, followed by their first-ever live performance (more on that in their own blog post below!)
Rock on!
Dipped very casually showed up on the 2023 music scene and nonchalantly won Ramot Band of the Session. Not much has changed since then, despite almost everything changing.
2 former members dipped out to Pio year, and 2 dipped from camp. Then this year the band had to dip from every rehearsal hall they tried to play in, and their singer Lila had to dip out of half the rehearsals. Then 2 more members joined and quickly dipped.
In a surprise dip-in Beber music legend Ethan Kolesky joined the band to play his first BeberFest in 8 years.
And Gabi overcame her fears and dipped her toes into the lake - but not for long enough to actually take the picture that way.
Sylvie, Gabi, and Lila are Dipped. Their new single is the 1976 hit Dancing Queen. Listen here, and see their performance on the BeberFest blog entry above. Jump in y’all.
Beber Rocks is proud to present “I Agree with Pickle - a Comeback Story” - a rockumentary documenting the band’s triumphant return after a diss track against them lights a fire in their pickle hearts resulting in their first live Fine Arts Fest performance, and the first original song written by a Beber rock band hobby to make it to the big stage - “We’re Too Busy Pickling”.
Follow the Pickle Slay story from their humble beginnings 2 summers ago, to their law-breaking video in 2023, to rock stardom now. Through member changes, setbacks, and perseverance, I Agree With Pickle has cemented themselves as one of the premiere rock bands in Beber history. Get yourself some popcorn and soda and enjoy!
PLUS - listen to their studio recording of the song below!
And when you’ve watched and listened to the above… you can see how it all began… the original Pickle videos from 2022 and 2023 are below!
When O1 found out from Russell in Cabin Activity that Maddie had stubbed her toe 3.5 years ago and was still sad about it, they wrote an original song to help make things better. We’re just sure it’s gonna work!
O1 stubbing their own toes in sympathy. (ok not really but they were still very sympathetic.)
In the wake of heated controversy surrounding a Tik Tok diss track against the band I Agree With Pickle from a little-known rapper called Golden Oreo and his anonymous posse, it appears that the band may in fact be coming out of retirement in order to respond to this diss the only way they know how- through music.
And it looks like they’ve formed a new production company to document their comeback. Until this leaked footage is explained, we simply don’t know any more than this, but we’ll keep you updated!
See the leak below!
The Pioneers of 2024 set out to write a song that conveyed what it means to be a Pio for them now, but also something that generations of Pios before and to come can relate to and sing too.
Beber Music Director Emeritus Russell Wiener spent some time in the brand new Moadon helping them workshop song concepts, refine ideas, and produce/arrange the song they wrote called “Ode to the Pioneers.”
We are very proud of what the Pios accomplished, this is a beautiful song full of meaning - and also catchy as can be.
Two different mixes are below (download by right-clicking on computer, or just stream), and a third hybrid mix accompanies the video with footage from the recording session.
Also check out the video from their live performance - a special post-talent-show treat for our Ramot campers to see and hear. Lyrics and chords at the bottom.
Once in a great while a piece of art is created that demands the beholder to ask “what on earth did I just hear/see?” The Library is that piece of art for 2024 at Beber Camp.
Each listen peels back another layer of the rich and complex onion of meaning and interpretation. A veritable collage of the unexpected, it is not for the faint of heart. Poster, video, and audio now available here!
When they are not a library, these musicians are out there being one with noise.
O3 hit the Stuido knowing exactly what they wanted to do - ride shotgun straight to paradise - and that’s just what they did in this new single drop - featuring video of the recording session! Have a very O3 day!
We hear at the Beber Rocks music dept make mistakes from time to time. And here is one we regret - this gem from 2022 never got posted! These folks are Pios now but enjoy this jam from their younger days!
A brand new radio station is underway - Stuido Radio at 3BC! We are working on all kinds of things, from new songs, to radio programs and more. Here’s our new ID drop for the station, and below that is our first radio show, with some of our favorite rock songs of all time!
Frankly we aren’t sure exactly what this hobby is, we have a lot going on, but here’s today’s random awesome beat that we collaborated on. We also listened to some Kenny Loggins, J Cole, and other incongruous selections and talked about the songs. Enjoy!
Well as the week went on we really developed our skillz and focus. The beat everyone produced was incorporated into a rap by Samuel… and Ari created a beat and rap about the all-important Wisconsin subject of cow tipping. Check em out below, including their posters!
The creativity was flowing when instead of deciding between a cover of Coconut Hen or I’m Just Ken the O4 ladies decided to combine them. A risky move… that paid off! Listen to their mashup masterpiece above!
Dis! Tree Oh! didn’t write an ordinary diss song - no they included all kinds of words involving that “dis” prefix in their sharp-tongued rap.
Back for a second year, they added fuel to the fire surrounding their popularity by doing a Beatles/Paul-is-dead kinda thing in their poster, created after Russell was sick on the last day of hobby!
Good thing they had the recording done before that.
